Hardworking members of the Somerville Fire Department have been shoveling out fire hydrants as fast as they can. But with more than 1,500 hydrants in the City, they need your help. If you are able, here's a map of most (but not all) City hydrants. Senior planner Brad Rawson whipped this up today. Below are links to neighborhood maps. If you're more of list person, we've got a list too. But for now, if you can help, it could save a life. Thanks.

As I said, we did this on the fly with an older GIS dataset in the midst of managing the City social media feeds, which are VERY busy. We figured this was better than nothing. Any tech savvy folks who want to help us make something else more useful for the next time (there are some great apps out there) are more than invited to help out (a really fun way to volunteer!).
